The I?.evc;ige; wrlell has been so eagerly ex ; peaed, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth,. wiih Sir :low; GDR?, the Spanish Adrnlrat, and a Deputy from the Council of Seville.

They are pt!ifetily nt as to the surrender of the French Fieet in Cidiz ; tiut state io general • terms,* that the inteilience: from Spain is of a tran quillizing nature. An article, t,o,%eve,r, from Paris, says, that numerous reitdo: cements of Troops are twitching towards Spain,nmards that Comply which is so perfealy tranquil, and in which :the French have alread, so litre au Army.

There was a report on Wednesday at Plymouth, that BUONAPARTE had left Bayonne with great preci pitation, on account of some unfavourable news from Paris, to which place it is said his course was direaed. Many cOnjetures prevailed as to the .reason of his sudden departure, but that which was:most current imported, that it was on account of the irn: poSsibility which had been announced to him of putting in praclice his Decree .fur raising the Con scription for the year 1810. It is not, however, certain, that . such a De cree hat been issued ; but if any difficulties have really attended the .raising a new Conscrip; . tion so long before-hand, it is not improbable t hat the people are %.erse to the service fr, , r which t hey would be devoted, in endeavOuring to enslave a free People to elevate another of his upstart race. WE had not room Yesterday to make any ob servations on the admirable State Paper issued by the POE., in answer to the Note from the French Minister, requiring him to enter into an - Offensive and defensive league with the other Powers of Italy. This excellent Paper, we doubt thake a great impressions_on those who are attached to the Catholic faith in every.part of the world. But we ' are persuaded that it must have a powerful operation upon all good minds, by whatever religious princi ples they may be influenced. Itiscaleulated to raise oniversal esteem for the. POPE; as it shews that he is a true Minister of Peace, and to excite a propor tionate regret that he had not firmness enough to re 'sist the demands of the French Ruler, in ihe first instance, and decline the humiliation and disgrace of a journey to Paris, for the purpose of crowning a sanguinary Usurper. -It is by no Means oOkely, if his Holiness had been resolute on that occasion, that the tlsurper would not have dared todespoil him of his dignity and power; for the whole world would have applauded the Head of the Papal Church for manifesting such a high sense of duty to his sacred office ; or, if the Usurper had ventured to wreak \ his vengeance on the Sovereign _Pontiff, he might only have precipitated his own downfall. As the case stands, howeyer, he has, Ifpossible,increased .the detestation of mankind, in pro: jog that ingratitude is among all those vices which render him one of the worst charaElers that ever appeared on the stage Of public life. Yet it is still to be wished, that'the POPE had adopted the measure of putting the French Ruler out or the protection of that Church, which he has so grossly injured and insulted in the person of its Apostolic Head. 511C11 . 3 measure was con fidenllv expeaed from the Papal Father, and it was generally rumoured, among the Cat holic Body, as an event that would certainly take place. Indeed this treatment of the PorE 44 , just at this uitical period, shews that BUONAPARTE is absolutely intoxicated h,pride aid .vanity, and is one of the most itn - poliCe 'eels that he ever committed, 'as it will tend to inflame the whole Continent against, him, and make every man inure anxious for the fall of a Ty rant, whom no sense of religion, of honour, or gratitude, can hind. It may not, perhaps, have the same &Ted in France as in other Continental States, because the people of that Country have less regard to moral and religious ties than any other people in' Europe. But still we are not to judge of the whole of the French people by the corrupt population of the French Capital, where debauchery of every kind ;is systematised . much more than even the operations of Government. But to recur to the' Papal Docu ment ; We.expe6l that it will. prove a powerful engine against BUONAPAKTE wherever it is seer, and particularly among the Spaniards, who are knu.vn to be more sincere and zealous in their religious faith Can any other people, but who indeed did not Ant this ootrageetis act against the Head of their Church :to stimulate: their rage against a man who is mica vomit% to deprive their Country of its independence, and d:sgrace thelr Throne, which' has boasted of a r..ee .91 Monarchs derived from an illustrious Family, by •an upStast that arose from obscu rity an I insigoificance, apd who is only known to mankind by the miseries which his detest ed brother has brought upon the world. We hope, therefore, that this admirab!e Document from his Hotiness. will be circulated , all over the Con tinent, but particularly in Spain, where it will give, it pbssible, :iticreased energy to those feelings of loyalty and patriotism which du so much honour to the National Charaaer, and which we doubt not, under Divine Providence, will enable them to resist the vile attent'Pts which au unprincipled Tyrant "is making in order to reloce them to a level, with the rest of va,sal States.

All communication li'ad` been cut off between the city of Lisbon and the Forts St. Julien and . Belem down to Cascais, where the French had entrenched-,themselves, and laid in a large stock of provisions, sutfident for a Icing siege. By Letters received from Oporto, it appears, that on the accomplishment of the Revolution at that place, the following Proclamation was issued PROCLAMATION: " In the name of the Prince Regent of PORTU GAL, the Junta of the Supreme Government of Oporto make known to all the subjeas of the sa i d ) Prince, that -the French Government is entirely abo lished and exterminated from this Province, and the Royal authority of our legitimate Sovereign is re-, stored, which shall be put in force fully and inde pendently by the aforesaid Junta, until the pleasure of his Royal .

In consequence, said Junta declares, that our Royal Sovereign shall, be proclaimed, and his Royal Arms replaced and respe6ied, as they used formerly to be; and that all the Constituted Autho rities alt in conformity therewith,. and issue all their Decrees, in the Royal Name of said Prince. (Signed) " THE BISHOP, " President and. Generalissimo,". " June 19." EDICT. " The Provisional Council of the Government of 'Oporto invites the veteran Soldiers, to whatever Re giment of the Line they may belong, to unite with the Artny,of this Province, that is, to enter into the ranks with the two Regiments of the Garrison of this City, which are in the course of organization and to each man, by way of remuneration, are pre mised a month's pay, and a daily ajlowance of-four vintcins; with clothing, &c. .The same pay will t allotted to, all the soldiers now on service, as well 4$ those who will join the same Reginients,.as. far as circumstances will permit ihis.extraniclinary pay.

" PORTUGUESE !-By Heaven, and by JeSus Christ 1, You have a Governor who loves you; whtir is anxious for your happiness, and who will exert himself to obtain it.

What signals do you not ex hibit to the Enemy, that he may entrap and surprise you I—Portuguese ! Listen to one who loves you. The French intend to strike a blow, fatal to you, and you are lost if you are guilty of insubordina tion, or disregard to the Councils of your Governor. Your firing, your beat of drum, your bcl3, give to your enemies the knowledge or .where you are, where your force, and where ,your weakness. From your Enemy conceal gout power, that yoo may strike the blow with more success; and thAt you may" - en counter him when he least expects your - approach. By these means ,you may conquer Piro. Subjed yourselves to 'your superiors in all and through all,' if you ate desirous of viCtory ; otherwise be assured you will meet only disgrace. From necessity, artei• ibis manner, the !Eighty boll yields, to vigilance, dexterity, and the little cloak. By whatever is sa cred in Heaven or in earth, by the sacred name of Jesus Christ, the Governor implores you, that you maintam subjection to your, Chiefs, conforming to the 'regulations of your respe-til e companies, !I you are ordered to a post, there you ought to remain un til the moment of combat and glory shall orrice. To you who are in the van we first commit our cause, and by valour diminish the number of our Eueinies. You who are next in order, when your turn comes, •.fulfil your duty by dealing d:.-structiou around you ; and you who form the rear-guard, destroy the 'rest.
